an appeal to all corporate captains and media

With due respect to all the comparisons we all will end up doing with the US 9/11, we have to get out of the rhetoric that Indians take to so easily, esp. the media and maybe even some CEOs as heard saying that one can't stop such an attack even if prepared well.
We all know how much of self interest we Indians are really about, there can be no doubt about this aspect, not that other nations are not, but the Indian mentality has been exposed this time.

The solidarity, the anger and frustration that we see today, that the media tends to fuel oftener, needs to last individually in us for more than 4 weeks, which is the minimum time after which the short term attention span, we all are bestowed with, kicks in. If this anger for a change can last in us for more than 4 weeks, we can go ahead and really act on some change.

You realize that it is only the defence forces in India that today can comfortably take pride in being united and save the nation and those are the ones who really inspire us, not our bungling, corrupt and inept politicians and cops. In parallel we have the beureaucrats who join the services to eventually become servants of these politicians that they don't stand loyal to the position they come to represent.
The defence forces are the only ones we can proudly say, run with professionalism in them like the corporate world and hence are successfully able to achieve their targets.

We, the educated class who have become the silent majority, out of due respect for equality or simply due to our own selfish interests, have allowed all the village bumpkins to come to town in sheer numbers and go about beating their drums and blowing trumpets cementing their position in politics thereby catering to their own self interests with no idea of progress and professionalism.

As corporate India today has witnessed an attack in its own house, at the higher level, if a lot of pressure goes on to the government from the corporate houses, backed by all their employees who desperately need this change, things can really change.

A common man might not be able to lead from the fore in today's times like M. K. Gandhi did way back then.

I could be one of those few of us, if not all, who are really angry, who want to take action in our own hands, as I have heard that things will go back to being the same soon if action is not taken NOW.
But if the nation really needs a change, that growth happen in this nation, and that we really are able to utilize the human capital that we have, and make India a proud nation to lead the 21st century, private industries and their captains have to rise up and take charge of the change that the politicians are simply denying us from by their corrupt, inept and tiresome ways.

The Indian vote bank politics has to change and the biggest change I see is by educating the illiterate, uneducated members of the vote banks, by breaking down the loyalties of the vote banks, the slum dwellers of all cities, and all such set ups that contribute to the vote bank.

Today they are the ones who outnumber us, the silent educated majority, in their sheer growing numbers, and they are the ones who need to be made to realize their folly in electing corrupt politicians.

Thanks to all the corporate honchos for putting forth your views on this topic with the government to bring in some change but an action is very much warranted before you let things take their own course. There is much to say here, and much much more to show in terms of examples that underscore the lacunae in the system that has brought one huge mishap on this nation. We are all aware of the anger and frustration, that it could have side effects on people/employees who could lose their balance trying to make sense of where we go from here.

Hope this message goes out to all who can bring this change now - those with the economic power and will - or we will end up with higher collateral damage the next time.
Going by the number of responses this event has got, lets take action on these sooner than just write about it. I would ensure some action on my part in this direction.

Just adding a hand to this churn of anguish and pain so that maybe some amrut of positive action may emerge from it.
